Devie's story is one of true grit and glittering success, a narrative that stretches from her challenging beginnings in Pittsburgh to her current standing as a beacon of positivity in the real estate world. We sit with Devie to uncover the secrets behind her approachable nature and her knack for clinching deals that have earned her a top spot in such a competitive field. Her resilience and tenacity, honed by life's trials, are front and center as we navigate the strategies that have helped her turn adversity into triumph. In this heart-to-heart, we also shine a light on the transformative power of positivity and the profound impact of community involvement. I share slices of my own life, where personal passion seamlessly blends with my professional calling, and how this synergy makes every day an adventure rather than a grind. You'll hear tales of triumph over challenges, and how maintaining an upbeat outlook can turn even the most negative situations around. As we explore the far-reaching effects of kindness and philanthropy, get ready to be inspired by projects like Streethearts Haiti, which underscore her aspirations to extend her charitable reach globally. This talk with Devie isn't just a commemoration; it's a masterclass in the values and vigor that fuel not just a stellar real estate career, but a fulfilling life and a few laughs. https://lnkd.in/eUUTYbXH...

Pleased to share that the group I mentored in the Philtech hackathon won first place, and the solution we defined together will be implemented by Philtech! The Haifa Rape Crisis Center (HRCC) is a non-profit organization that fights sexual assault of all forms. We defined an AI-based solution (using LLMs) that will contribute to improving the center's productivity and the quality of the volunteers' assistance: 1) A system that knows how to give feedback and automatic feedback on a conversation between a volunteer and a sexually victimized woman. 2) Present the volunteer with a summary and status of what he did and his progress each period 3) Simulate synthetic conversations to train volunteers Well done to the great team for the hard work, and looking forward to seeing the system operating :)

📢 Australia-wide Online Hackathon - We Are Mobilise Hack4Homelessness - Registration Now Open!!! I always love joining hackathons since high school. Last year alone, I participated in 07 hackathons across Australia and the USA, finding immense joy in the process. What I cherish most is the way we come together, leveraging our diverse skill sets to tackle problems, striving to win, and learning from both success and failure (yay, you learned a lot from your failure, I guarantee 🚀). Many of my closest friends and mentors I've met through hackathons, and they're all incredibly innovative, supportive, and community driven. Some of them are now on the path to founding their first businesses, bringing their hackathon ideas to life. This year, I've shifted my focus to working behind the scenes, supporting the execution of hackathons. Hopefully, in the future, I can bring even more high-quality hackathons to our community 💚. Hackathons aren’t just for computer programmer anymore; they’re platforms for collaboration, innovation, and action 💡. Everyone all has something to contribute. So, if you're free on the weekend of 25 & 26/05, and you are: 🎨 A creative mind. 🍀 A social impact or social entrepreneur students. 💻 A developer, or software engineer, or UX/UI designer, or ML/AI engineer, or Data scientist. 💡 Or just simply a passionate innovator eager to tackle the challenge of 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆. #Hack4Homelessness is a tailor-made Hackathon for you.

I’ve seen and experienced a future where hope is lost, and mediocrity is accepted. I refuse to let that be our reality. Imagine a world where veterans are thriving in every sector of the workforce, not just surviving, but leading, driving change, and making businesses stronger. Picture a future where veterans don’t have to struggle alone for support, where they have immediate access to the resources they need, when they need them—before issues like unemployment, homelessness, or even suicide become a reality. In this world, businesses don’t just see veterans as hires, they see them as the foundation of their success, propelling growth with leadership, resilience, and purpose. My vision for the future and for FRAGO22 is rooted in this very future. A future where organizations are transformed by a culture of compassion, excellence, and unbreakable support. A vision where workplaces are not just places to clock in and out but spaces where everyone, from veterans to civilians, is encouraged to grow, excel, and feel valued. Where leadership is defined by empathy, purpose is at the core of every strategy, and success is measured by the positive impact we have on people’s lives. This isn’t just a dream! This is where FRAGO22 going. We’re building a world where veteran homelessness is a thing of the past. Where every veteran who enters the workforce is met with opportunity, not barriers. Where businesses recognize that investing in people and I mean REALLY investing in them, is the key to unlocking limitless potential. I see a world where veterans are the catalyst for a better, stronger workforce and a brighter future for everyone. The Best Part? We’re going to make it happen, together. Are you ready to join me in this journey?
